Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed moving the balance of the fuel price stabilization fund from fuel wholesalers to a dedicated State Treasury account. The measure appears in the 14th draft of a fuel-trading decree and has not yet taken effect.

The draft would require companies to close their fund balances before the new decree takes effect and commission a specific audit within 12 months. Any differences found would be handled through the proposed inter-ministerial and Treasury process.
